    It's funny that many of these prestigious schools offer online degrees and then many of them turn around and refuse to hire online graduates as professors. Seems like a double standard to me. It appears that they offer it and then imply that it is inferior.

    If these schools are anything like my employer, then you are might talking about a situation where the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. The organization is so large that most departments, in fact most staff and faculty individually seem to work in autonomous bubbles. There is probably only one person working on site who knows, off the top of his head, that the school accepts up to 30 credits in CLEP and up to 90 credits in transfer. Unfortunately, that person is not an academic advisor, but an interpreter who happens to have the reputation of an ax-weilding Maniac.

    By the way, while my employer does not accept online degrees for professors and adjuncts, they will accept them for absolutely any other position in the school.

    Very likely, I think.
